Odd as it may seem, this was actually the first song I prepared before considering going through the album. Having survived the siren's noise against his body, while having no criminal repercussions or reparations for pain and suffering, Picket Gate now wonders if this whole magic business is a problem or not. As he is now a political junkie, told his friends about this, and given that everyone else has amnesia (convenient), Picket Gate seeks advice from his dad (still not fixed on the name). As a reminder,(S.A.E.M. = Students Against Equestria Magic)

*Shattered Gate is a side effect of the siren's green gas entering his system. An aberration of magic that gives Picket Gate insomnia and bad dreams of a world unregulated with equestrian magic. These dreams force his resolve to take action, despite not knowing that anger is a quality that triggers magic. A band-aid solution is found by taking prescribed medication, with the advice from Ivy Drip. Scalding Wok, of a far east decent, has been seen as a jolly kind of individual. He was not intimidated by fat jokes but merely brushed them off. His family runs a bed and breakfast hotel, and each member contributes to the business in their own way. At a young age, Scalding Wok wanted suggested a food truck spin-off venture for a music festival. Most of the family agreed, but while there, some idiot did not pay attention to the no-smoking sign near the propane tanks (possibly for competitive purposes). Those of Scalding Wok's family (insert culinary related names here) noticed, but Scalding Wok himself barely got out alive. His legs and some muscle fat tissue got 2nd degree burns from the explosion. The smoker got arrested for arson and public endangerment. It was shocking and painful, but that experience did not deter him from wanting to "tame the flame" through his cooking expertise. The food truck idea was never brought up again. The wounds have since healed him at present. As such, he has since become more involved in food preparation for the family B&B, and studied up on new recipes. One weakness around his cooking are deserts (I can't make him an OP chef prodigy). There may have been some "healthy" conversations between Lightning Dust and Scalding Wok about not being fit with his mass, but that has grown into a mutual acceptance of each difference. Fortunately, Scalding Wok had a more wise and provocative friend on his side since Grade 5. Scalding Wok Bio: Age: 16.5 years old, Height 5"3, Heavier than most students by 20-30 lbs.
